COST OF WAR
WHAT BUDGET WILL REVEAL. (Press Assn.) WELLINGTON, July 14. A Budget hint was given by Hon. W T . Nash when speaking at the foundation stone ceremony at the r.ew Lower Uutt Post Office to-day. He said that there was £63.000.000 in the Post Office Savings Bank, more than had ever been known previously in New Zealand. No other country per capita of population saved so much except under the war savings scheme in Great Britain. He hoped New Zealanders would note that and save even more.
He was going to tell the country on Wednesday night that it would cost as many million pounds for the war next year as one could think of quietly —as many as he had mentioned were in the Post Office Savings Bank.
